Aremko Aguas Calientes Puerto Varas

Aremko sits in native forest along the Río Pescado, about 20 minutes from Puerto Varas in Chile's Los Lagos region. The property's boutique cabins each come with a private outdoor hot tub set beside the river, so the sound of running water is the backdrop rather than piped-in music.

The place is built for couples looking for quiet rather than a crowded thermal complex. Each stay is private — the tub is reserved for two — and a sauna and in-room massage service round out the slower pace. Cabins sit among trees rather than in a parking-lot style springs setup, with the focus kept on the river itself.

Four packages are offered directly through Aremko. A daytime visit called Pausa junto al río pairs the hot tub with a couples massage for $110,000 CLP for two, available Sunday through Thursday, with no overnight stay. Noche de Aguas Calientes adds a night in a boutique cabin plus breakfast for $160,000 for two. Ritual del Río, the most booked option, combines the cabin, hot tub, an evening massage, and breakfast for $210,000 for two (Sunday–Thursday). Refugio Aremko extends the Ritual experience across two nights in the same cabin for $290,000 for two.

Bookings go through Aremko directly, either via its website or by phone, with dates and times coordinated over WhatsApp. The property is open daily except Tuesday, with hours running from 10:00 to midnight most days and until 21:30 on Sundays.
